In the sanctuary…….
Detective Liam Niles stood in his trench coat, his feet spread
even apart, his hands clutched together behind his back, his
keen deduction focused observing the stain glass window. His
memory serving him well on all the clues divulged from the
first time he stepped foot inside Chivalry Chapel, from in the
midst of the gathering, til the previous day. His clever
thoughts followed his view of the medieval details to
decipher. One last inquirement not answered-the hidden
signet ring. From the other clues of images in his mind, of
Pastor Connor Drake’s statement of trust in him, ‘Liam, I want
you to continue to search for the ring’, then Dayn’s ruthless
statement of, ‘How can anyone find that ring amongst all
those layered bricks is beyond me.”, then Tauna’s statement
to him, ‘I must get used to it as I will be his wife soon.”
resonated. His deep focus of attention at the inlaid color
coded depiction of Mother Mary, as he gazed upon the image
as though she stared at him, his eyes with hers with answer.
His memory reverts back to Pastor Connor’s statement from
the beginning, ‘A woman like Mother Mary’, then Bren’s
statement, ‘I used to read the old documents to her,’ The
documents,’ struck into his own mouth as he murmured,
“BREN. Of course. Almighty god, you are sweet!” His gazed
spell suddenly ended as he turned to leave out of the
sanctuary, boldly treading the long corridor toward Bren’s
room, readjusting his snugged gloves, his opened trench coat
showed his already obtained sword strapped to his side,
while treads onward on the way, walks straight into Bren’s
room to see her ever so slowly pushing herself off the floor.
“Bren! What happened?” He bent down to help her up.
Bren, a little nerve-shaken, continued to reach for him. “I’m
ok. It was Dayn, He ransacked my room, I tried to stop him, he
escaped.
Liam respectfully concluded. “He has taken the signet ring
from you.” Checking her over for any harm done.
Bren looks directly at him. “You knew.”
Pastor Drake rushes inside the room, goes right to her. “Bren!
Are you ok?” Takes her into his comforting arms.
Bren acknowledges him as she reaches to him. “Yes Connor,
I’m ok.”
Liam checks them over. “Sir, stay here. I’m going after Dayn!
He stood diligent.
Bren immediately veered at him. “Liam! He’s after Tauna!
Stop him!”
Liam eyes widened, boldly ran from the room.
